Season Encore Performance Performance to Include Works by Balanchine, Cerrudo, Lang, Peck, and More! Featuring the Mighty PNB Orchestra FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: April 14, 2016 Gary Tucker 206.441.2426 [email protected] PACIFIC NORTHWEST BALLET PRESENTS ITS 2015-2016 Season Encore Performance Performance to include works by Balanchine, Cerrudo, Lang, Peck, and more! Featuring the mighty PNB Orchestra. Bon voyage performances of company dancers Kylee Kitchens and Jessika Anspach. ONE NIGHT ONLY! Sunday, June 12, 2016 – 6:30 pm Marion Oliver McCaw Hall 321 Mercer Street, Seattle Center Seattle, WA 98109 SEATTLE, WA – The curtain comes down on Pacific Northwest Ballet’s 43rd season with its annual Season Encore Performance, a crowd-pleasing reprise of some of PNB’s greatest hits. An evening of thrilling selections and inspired performances, the program will feature PNB’s entire Company, along with the world famous PNB Orchestra under the baton of Music Director/Principal Conductor Emil de Cou. Highlights of the evening will include reprises of two of this season’s most popular works, Alejandro Cerrudo’s Little mortal jump, and Jessica Lang’s The Calling. Other selections for the evening include excerpts from George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™, Price Suddarth’s world premiere Signature, and Justin Peck’s Year of the Rabbit, among others. The evening also celebrates the careers of PNB’s departing dancers: In addition to the previously announced retirement of corps de ballet member Jessika Anspach, the Season Encore performance will also be the audience’s chance to offer a fond farewell to soloist Kylee Kitchens. The Season Encore Performance will be presented one night only, Sunday, June 12 at 6:30 pm at McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer Street. Tickets may be purchased exclusively through the PNB Box Office (206.441.2424, online at PNB.org, or in person at 301 Mercer Street at Seattle Center.) “We are pleased to pay tribute to two longstanding members of the Company with this year’s Season Encore performance,” said PNB Artistic Director Peter Boal. “We are also afforded an opportunity to look back at favorite works from the past season and savor them for the last time. With too many triumphs to include, I’m forced to pick a few highlights. From Clara’s new dress to Price’s new Signature, this was a season to remember. World premieres, company premieres, and role debuts plus Jessika and Kylee’s poignant farewell performances will make for one of the most exciting and emotional nights of the year.” “I dreamt of joining PNB ever since I was 11 years old, when I went to see the company perform Cinderella near my hometown in California,” said Ms. Kitchens, when announcing her retirement. “That dream was realized when Kent Stowell and Francia Russell hired me from the professional division at PNB School and I have had the honor of dancing with this incredible company for the past 16 years. I have come to a point in my life where I feel it is time to end this career which I have been so fortunate to have. I will carry with me so many unforgettable moments on stage and in the studios. I have had the privilege of dancing and working with this extraordinary group of people, and I have been and will continue to be inspired by so many of these wonderful artists. While I'll be stepping off of the stage I'll be stepping into a new adventure with my son Simon and husband Steve. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me and this beloved company of mine.” “Kylee has brought true elegance and quiet power to our stage for over 16 years,” continued Mr. Boal. “She arrived in our Professional Division in 1998 and quickly caught the eye of Francia Russell. I was proud to promote Kylee to soloist in 2012. Though she might be pegged for more lyrical roles, Kylee has never shied away from a challenge evidenced in her fearless attack in Ulysses Dove’s Vespers and her mastery of the fluid contusions of Jiri Kylian’s Petit Mort. She proved herself a true comedienne in Jerome Robbins’ The Concert and Kylian’s Sechs Tanze, and I will not forget her Jardí Tancat or her seductress in Afternoon of a Faun. Kylee was a mainstay of the corps for many years, but watching the inner artist bloom over the past few years has yielded true rewards for all of us. She will be missed, but not by son Simon, who now gets to see quite a bit more of his leading lady.” (See below for further information.)

  • Ballet? Y First the Ballerina Glides Across the Stage, Her Arms M Making Lovely Lines in the Air
    My First alle B Album t What is Ballet? Firs The ballerina glides across the stage, her arms My t making lovely lines in the air. A beautiful tune comes from the strings of the large orchestra. She is the Sleeping Beauty: she was put into a allet deep magic sleep by the wicked witch. But she B lbum has now been woken by her handsome prince, A and he dances joyfully with her, athletic and strong. Another time, she is Princess Odette from Swan Lake, and around her the other dancers – swans in white chiffon – weave patterns in time to the music. And yet another time, she is the Sugar Plum Fairy celebrating the joy of Christmas in The Nutcracker. This is ballet, the classical dance that, once seen, is never forgotten. Even though today we have film and video games, ballet is still a powerful vision of beauty and excitement. The dancers use the strength of an athlete, the balance of a gymnast and the sensitivity of a violinist to tell stories through their dancing. Here is some of the best music which has propelled dancers for hundreds of years. 2 Tchaikovsky Swan Lake Stravinsky The Firebird 1 Scene 2:37 3 Scene I. The Firebird’s Dance 1:19 Keyword: Oboe Keyword: Fire Swan Lake is a ballet from Russia about a prince called Siegfried.
